Acquisition is the most elegant program for p2p on OSX (some mention Drumbeat or Myster, but I didn't find them better). I haven't tried Phex or Mutella, and there are probably others.

I rather like the progress I'm seeing in the new LW versions, but I've learned to think 5 % is not bad. I've been able to download files I only saw in occasional searches before. There is still lots to be done (I think I've sent in 3 or 4 crashlogs already), but LW is a project under construction, and is only just starting to implement changes that really affect OSX. Anyway, Acquisition depends on the same core code as Limewire.

You know that the "could not download" just means "search again", right? I force my IP, share more than 100 files, and am ready to disable Ultrapeer if my computer starts acting overloaded.

Cheers--post back which client works best for your set-up.
